2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum

The 2025 Pathfinder is Nissan's three-row family SUV, slotting between the smaller Rogue and the larger Armada. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Telluride in the crowded midsize three-row segment. The V6 delivers strong acceleration and the nine-speed shifts smoothly, making highway merging effortless. The ride is composed and quiet on the highway, though the suspension can feel firm over sharp bumps. With three rows and up to eight seats, the Pathfinder offers flexible seating and generous cargo space for families. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Nissan Safety Shield 360 comes standard, adding automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Pathfinder has a better reliability record than some Nissan models, with the V6 and nine-speed proving durable. Fuel economy is average for the class, with combined ratings in the low 20s, and maintenance costs are typical. The Platinum is the top-trim Pathfinder, the one you pick for semi-aniline leather, cooled front seats, and the 13-speaker Bose system. The 3.5L V6 makes 284 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic; with four-wheel drive you get a composed ride and 22 mpg combined. ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is standard here, adding steering assist and speed-zone adaptation to the highway cruise.
